So, I got utterly creamed last night, like ~8-10 net losses on my Tiger 2. The fact that I was freezing while playing (my own fault) and tired after a long day's work (also my own fault) and then became increasingly agitated (also also my own fault) probably didn't help at all. The fact that I was on a game on Cliffs where we got wiped out in a full sweep with zero kills didn't help either.

I kept finding pub games where I'd start Mountain Pass from the south and at least half of our team would go straight for the ice road, where they would be stalled by a handful of tanks while the rest of the opposing team would crush our meager resistance out west (where I would be).

The one time that this worked out in our favor, the enemy's matching push on the west road was stalled by two of our tanks long enough that our shambling ice road push actually made it to the enemy base. Those two of our tanks were nearly flanked from the middle valley entrance, except that I stalled that push myself. It was still three tanks west, two SPGs at base, and ten freaking tanks up the ice road the wrong way...

I can feel your frustration. We all experienced similar scenarios. That being said though, this makes platoon even more vital, because you have at least one ally thats willing to work with you when crap hits the fan.

And when you do lose, responsibility is shared, and therefore its lighter on your shoulders

I bought a Luchs to see if I can make a profit reselling it once the 8.4 patch rolls through. If it doesn't, it wasn't that expensive. Doesn't have a crew, it's just... there. And I have more loyalty to my Czech tanks were I to recrew anything.

More annoying is figuring out whether or not there's any point in keeping a crewless VK1602 Leopard around after it gets totally spayed, neutered, and kicked in the groin after this patch. The same outcome with the VK2801, but at least there might be something to come after that... in another year or so.

The leopard is not getting neutered as it never had any hangers to begin with, On a whole the update will be a bit of a mixed bag as it'll have new brit TD's which is cool but it'll ruin the luchs and render the leopard even more redundant.

It is true Wil, Q brings luck, while I bring skill to support him, on top of having ventrillo on.

I can play my tier T32/T34 with his Tier 9s just fine. But overall I like to play the T34, becuz I don't loose much money on premiums. I did my tier 10 with Q and it didn't turn out too well the first time. IDK if I should try again, maybe when he researches everything then i'll give it another go. My tier 9 was so-so, but I end up using gold rounds.

Also on another note, I see Sume changed her avatar to what looks like the genderbent Accelerator - Suzushina Yuriko.
